OT - test

Nothing in the inbox and nothing in the PDML archive for hours.

Just thought I'd ping the list and see how long it takes for the pong
to come back around ;-)

Less than a minute.

Guess your all either sleeping or out taking pictures.

Carry on.

OT PESO - Milky Way Rainbow

[David Savage]

G'day Folks,

Another night shot from my trip up north:



Direct link (~170kb)



D700, AF-D 20mm f2.8, 31seconds @ f5.6, ISO 6400. 7 frame panorama,
stitched in PTGui, tided up in PS & finished off in LR.

It's pretty cool to stand in a relatively isolated spot, listening to
the sound of bats & howling dingos, while watching the Milky Way
stretch from one horizon to another. It literally sent a shiver down
my spine.

This is one of those occasions where doing a panorama was the only way
to capture the view. My widest lens at that time (20mm) wasn't wide
enough to fit it all in.

I have been wanting to retry a night sky pano since an somewhat
unsuccessful attempt on my Kalgoorlie road trip in Feb. This one kinda
works.

Enjoy.

Cheers,

Dave

Evening, Rob.

Been a quiet time on PDML tonight, eh.  For once I'm up-to-date on
this weeks mail, thanks to the lull.  Last month's is another story.
Once it goes back to the second page of Gmail and beyond it's out of
sight and out of mind and I aint never gonna read it.

Very very impressive Dave, you are making that new hardware work for
you, that's just great to see. Could have done with your kit on the

PESO Another weed picture

[Rob Studdert]

Hi Team,

Just a quick grab shot that surprised me, commendations or criticisms welcomed.

The image was captured hand held using my trusty *ist D and smc
PENTAX-DA 35mm F2.8 Limited at f4.5, the subject is of course the
flower of a Lantana bush.

No hyperfocus, just plain old "focus on the nearest flower".

I did some shots with the 43 ltd to begin with, but the 14mm worked
much better for this particular situation.

Pretty. In a noxious weed kinda' way.

I used to love dousing that stuff in methylated spirits/terps/petrol &

Indeed. My mucking about with the over/under-exposure is basically a
result of the same. I hope I get the opportunity to explore this
further to see if it comes out to be some comprehensible rule of
thumb.

Hmm... the midground thing could maybe be accomplished with the curves
tool. However I kinda like it as it is, to draw attention to the
flowers.

On the issue of ND filters I don't have an awful lot of good to say
about them. I think the shading effect introduced to uneven horizons
are in most cases worse than overly bright skies. As it stands with
this shot, however, I know there's detail in the highlights, that can
be pulled down if needed. :-)

Thanks for commenting, Ken. Much appreciated.

Re: PESO - Marsh Daisy

Thanks for commenting Brian.
I have a hard time controlling just one flash.  So when you say you
sometimes use two, you're way ahead of me. :-)

So far this softbox thingy looks good. I had one before too, but much
smaller. The former one was about double the area of the flash itself.
That didn't make much of a difference at all. The current one is 4-5
the area of the flash (at least).

GESO Refit - Before & After

[Rob Studdert]

Hi Team,

Maybe the following pics will be of interest maybe not, they're
certainly not any kind of attempt at art, just a reflection of what
I've been shooting. I seem to have been using my camera for
documenting my work more than anything else of late so here goes.

All shot using my trusty old *ist D (throw in the rucksack camera) and
DA16-45 lens (but one), all hand held, plenty flexible and capable
enough for making good records of work progress.

Agreed. I think we should all pop down to Australia and give Dave a
good thrashing for humiliating us with photos like that. And while
we're there we can, of course, take some time out to, erm... take some
photos like that...

AKA Thrift or Sea Thrift.  Have never heard it called Marsh Daisy here.  

I wondered about the light, assuming it to be rays from the sun reaching over 
an edge on the cliff.  It didn't scream "fill flash" at me, so it must be 
considered a success - at least by comparison to any of my own attempts.

I resorted to Wikipedia in my ignorance. :-)
It is usually the quickest way to find species names because of the
crosslinks between languages.

That's what I liked about it too. And I haven't seen anyone's previous
attempts but my own. :-)

Re: PESO Another weed picture

[Igor Roshchin]

Rob,

I like the combination of the foreground and background colors,
and the DOF works well here.

It might be my present mood (and I've been criticized for it by some
people), - but I would try to sharpen it just a touch.
I would also crop it to a square (a la 6x6).

There are a lot of plants that are just ornamental in other countries,
but once they get here have a tenancy to go nuts & compete with native
plants. To the detriment of the native plant life.

OT, Very OT - Just had a surreal moment...

[David Savage]

...and it happened only a few minutes ago.

I apologise in advance for the off topicness of this post but I just
need to get it off my chest.

I am 31 years old, and will be 32 in December.

I have kept in my possession since I was 15/16 years old a particular
leather belt & eagles head belt buckle. The buckle is gaudy and ugly,
but at that time was a cool thing to have.

At around this age the belt became too small for me. A trip to one of
the leather goods stalls at the local markets was made to enquire
about having a new belt custom made so that I could keep using my
prized buckle. This lead to a comment that has stuck with me since
then. He said he could make me a belt, but not in 1 strip of leather
as "Cows are only so big". Demoralised I gave up on the belt & buckle
& got a regular leather dress belt.

I just tried on my old belt

It fits again. With holes to spare

DA16-45 lens (but one), all hand held, plenty flexible and capable

Re: adobe updates

Godfrey,
Thanks for the 'heads up'.  I've just acquired Lightroom 2.3 and am
still learning to use it.  I'm contemplating a serious change in my

Photoshop Elements.  I really dislike Photoshop's access to old files
I've rolled off the laptop.

I think the old cows and big belts thing is Mad Cow related.

K10D and K4/300?

[Ralf R. Radermacher]

Just received my K 4/300 mm and, looking at the thing, I'm wondering if
the bayonet of my K10D and its tripod bushing will withstand the load if
I use this lens on a tripod.

Until now, I've been using my old Pentacon  300 mm lens which had its
own tripod collar.

Any ideas or experiences from list members?

Ralf

Stop doing things like that. I want to take pictures that nice and
can't afford a D700. :)

I just noticed that that is a "D" lens. Are you getting vignetting on
your D700? Or do you clean that up when stitching together the pano?

> stitched in PTGui, tided up in PS & finished off in LR.

Do you have problems with star alignment when stitching together night
shots like that?

I've got an idea, for the cost of a D700, I could get three K20s, and
set up a bracket and wiring to do simultaneous three camera
panos. It'd be a little unweildy, but I'd get more sensor area than
the D700, and wouldn't have to worry about movement between frames.

:)

I'm lucky that I have just barely enough sense to not try such a
stunt, but it could be a fun thing to set up at PDML gatherings. It
might be a fun GFM project, setting up an 8 camera pano, the only
trick would be to wire up a bunch of remote shutter releases in
parallel.

Re: K10D and K4/300?

[Bruce Dayton]

I had one of those once.  Yes, the lack of a collar is concerning.
>From my memory, I tended to push down on the camera body during the
shot to at least take some pressure of the tripod mount in the base
of the camera.  Doesn't really help with the lens mount.

I believe Manfrotto makes an attachment that works for lenses like
this giving them support.  You might want to look into that.

I have kept in my possession since I was 15/16 years old a particular
leather belt & eagles head belt buckle. The buckle is gaudy and ugly,
but at that time was a cool thing to have.

At around this age the belt became too small for me. A trip to one of
the leather goods stalls at the local markets was made to enquire
about having a new belt custom made so that I could keep using my
prized buckle. This lead to a comment that has stuck with me since
then. He said he could make me a belt, but not in 1 strip of leather

& got a regular leather dress belt.

I just tried on my old belt

It fits again. With holes to spare

Re: K10D and K4/300?

[P. J. Alling]

It seems heavy compared to most modern lenses but it's only 20% heavier 
than the A*300 f4.0 and I've not noticed any real problems when that 
lens is mounted on the *ist-D or Ds and it doesn't have a tripod 
socket.  Maybe the extra 200 grams or so might make a difference but I 
doubt it.

Until now, I've been using my old Pentacon  300 mm lens which had its
own tripod collar.

Any ideas or experiences from list members?

Very nice but I'd like it more if the midground was a little brighter.
Nicely composed, probably would have benefited from the use of an ND 
filter.


Hmm... the midground thing could maybe be accomplished with the curves
tool. However I kinda like it as it is, to draw attention to the
flowers.


Just a personal preference of mine. A very nice image as is.



On the issue of ND filters I don't have an awful lot of good to say
about them. I think the shading effect introduced to uneven horizons
are in most cases worse than overly bright skies. As it stands with
this shot, however, I know there's detail in the highlights, that can
be pulled down if needed. :-)

Thanks for commenting, Ken. Much appreciated.

G'day Folks,

Direct link (~170kb)




That shot does not suck.



D700, AF-D 20mm f2.8, 31seconds @ f5.6, ISO 6400. 7 frame panorama,


Stop doing things like that. I want to take pictures that nice and
can't afford a D700. :)


Or the cost of transport to Australia.



I just noticed that that is a "D" lens. Are you getting vignetting on
your D700? Or do you clean that up when stitching together the pano?


stitched in PTGui, tided up in PS & finished off in LR.


Do you have problems with star alignment when stitching together night
shots like that?



It's pretty cool to stand in a relatively isolated spot, listening to
the sound of bats & howling dingos, while watching the Milky Way
stretch from one horizon to another. It literally sent a shiver down
my spine.

This is one of those occasions where doing a panorama was the only way
to capture the view. My widest lens at that time (20mm) wasn't wide
enough to fit it all in.


I've got an idea, for the cost of a D700, I could get three K20s, and
set up a bracket and wiring to do simultaneous three camera
panos. It'd be a little unweildy, but I'd get more sensor area than
the D700, and wouldn't have to worry about movement between frames.

:)

I'm lucky that I have just barely enough sense to not try such a
stunt, but it could be a fun thing to set up at PDML gatherings. It
might be a fun GFM project, setting up an 8 camera pano, the only
trick would be to wire up a bunch of remote shutter releases in
parallel.



I have been wanting to retry a night sky pano since an somewhat
unsuccessful attempt on my Kalgoorlie road trip in Feb. This one kinda
works.

Enjoy.

Cheers,

Dave

Re: K10D and K4/300?

[Ken Waller]

Kirk sells a tripod collar for a specific Nikon lens, the last time I 
looked. They weren't interested in a similar collar for my 300 4.5 FA when 
last I approached them.

I had one of those once. Yes,
the lack of a collar is concerning.

I believe Manfrotto makes an attachment that works for
lenses like
this giving them support. You might want to look into
that.

Beautiful!

I would love to see this printed about 6 feet wide... on a wall  
somewhere in my house.  Nice stuff, David!  I'd say it "kinda works"  
for sure!

Looks like an additional support where the lens still needs to have its
own thread.

I've had one of these in a cupboard for years...

http://www.manfrotto.com/Jahia/site/manfrotto/pid/3224

...and sold it a few weeks ago because I couldn't be bothered to use it.
A real pain in the neck with landscape and virtually unusable for
portrait orientation.

Someone on a German list suggested these...

nt-Ring-Phottix-for-Canon-EF-L-70-200mm-300mm-400mm-black::2125.html

...but the trouble with the K4/300 ist that, even if it had the correct
diameter, there's practically nowhere to fix such a collar to this lens.

Panasonic limiting their cameras to only Panasonic battery
packs...could this be a move to be followed by other companies?

I like the photo, Dan, but it looks like there's something wrong with

my finger on it, but the flag and the water, in particular, look ... 
somehow strange.

How ridiculous. That would be like printers only working with one
brand of ink.
